The Risograph, a machine with endless possibilities, a vibrant ink palette and an iconic staple in the contemporary visual arts scene - but how has it impacted play, print and process? In this talk, we will shine a spotlight on this machine’s rich history and how it revolutionised print, paving a way for fast and economical printing, whilst ushering in a much-celebrated DIY movement. We will discuss how its various settings and colour blend options have sparked a wave of play in a variety of processes - and why this is important now more than ever!This talk will also feature Design for Today’s latest book ‘Hello! Riso!’, written and illustrated by Beth Izatt. With this helpful introduction into the world of Risograph, and our exploration into its impact, you will be shown how you can utilise the magic of Riso in your own practice. Artist Bio:Beth Izatt is an illustrator and designer based in the West Midlands. Her work is crafted from a library of handmade textures and found ephemera. She specialises in experimental printmaking practices such as Risography, hand-cut stencilling and rubber stamp design. Both elements work hand in hand to create playful and accessible pieces of work that celebrates even the smallest aspect of the world around us, as well as a rich array of stories.
